'Skyfall' Daniel Craig: 'I was shaken up by fame'

The James Bond actor has revealed that taking on such an iconic role was difficult for him as he previously appeared in low-profile, indie films.

Craig - who is to appear later this year in new Bond film Skyfall - said it has taken him some time to adjust to the new A-list way of life.

He told Esquire: "It threw me for a loop, quite honestly. It really f**king shook me up and made me look at the world in a different way. It changed my life."

He added: "It just confused the hell out of me. Fame and fortune, for want of a better expression, is f**king scary. My background is not well off. And there aren't many people you can ask for advice about dealing with that."
